Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Dos
Casa Cuba Doble Dos is the most refined and artistically crafted model in the series. Featuring the classic Corona size, the Doble Dos was designed to pay homage to the golden age of cigars, a time of precise proportions and delicate flavors. Its narrower ring gauge allows the Ecuadorian Habanos wrapper, personally selected by Mr. Fuente Sr., to take center stage in the flavor profile, resulting in a more pronounced and vibrant aroma compared to larger ring gauge models.

Flavor Ladder
Opening notes: Doble Dos opens with an extremely precise peppery and woody aroma, highly concentrated within its 42 ring gauge. This is followed by a subtle caramel sweetness and floral notes that quickly emerge, showcasing a more acute initial character than other models in the series. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the flavor reveals an astonishing complexity. Cinnamon, roasted nuts, and earthy notes reminiscent of aged Cuban tobacco intertwine. Due to the narrow smoke path, each puff delivers a rich, oily sensation, with layers of flavor leaping off the palate. Finish: The finish reveals a warm leather and cedarwood lingering, with a signature sweet aroma of dried fruit. Even when burned down to the fingertips, the flavor remains cool and rhythmic, demonstrating the Fuente family's exceptional mastery of long, narrow ring gauge cigars.
